        What does surprise me is that the inevitable nuclear accident has not yet happened.
        I also think that this promotion of BoBs and complaints about shortages of skilled IT workers in the UK is nothing more but a cheap propaganda targeted at people with remote view of the actual operations of the bank.

        Not sure who is standing behind this - the likes of R*n Ta* would be the obvious candidates but who knows who else is involved in this sham.

        Blatant massaging of the benefit realization analysis will be the last step in this charade.

        IMO, when the inevitable nuclear accident happens, the people whose decisions led to the advent of BoBs in the UK will be rich and retired in Caribbean.

        If UKIP are the answer, then it must have been a very stupid question.

          Precisely, I spent some time on a multi year programme once where the PM changed every 6 months, so did the programme direction and by the time anything could possibly fail, it had been binned and the focus was on the next workstream.

          And so it goes on...

            Shareholders eventually become the tax paying public.

            Much fixedness for you...

              Tax-paying public?

              Why should you care - you're a tax-dodging contractor, aren't you?

              Mucho-mucho fixedness for you!
